help me make my begonia thrive! King is literally my king. If my home set on fire, I would go back in to get him. He came with some imperfect leaves. If they were major imperfections on small leaves I just picked them off but most of them I kept. I have picked off most except his big leaves with holes as of now Heās not in a self watering pot. I bought one for him but I decided to wait and see if he likes the regular one because the leaves were moving to face the grow light heās under for 12 hrs daily (technically heās under 2 because thereās a second light on the shelf below facing the opposite way for my other plants). He has all purpose soil with perlite and some cactus soil to make better drainage since I didnāt have anything else at the time of repotting. I go over and check him more than any of my other plants, so I know these wilted leaves are fresh. Planta first said thrips, but he has no visible bugs. Then watering, and heās a little dry but nothing crazy. Heās next to a constant humidifier. The leaves felt a little soggy but I donāt overwater this guy, like at all. He has some basic mold at the top of his soil that I havenāt had the time to remove yet. Iām in the process of keeping up with insecticide when I need to water as spring comes and itās not his turn yet.
